In a Surprise Twist, January Jones Gave Birth to Xander Dane Three Days Ago

The entire saga of January Jones‘ pregnancy has been a study in forced nonchalance. Her publicist released the news — which was fairly scandalous since January wasn’t currently in a relationship — hours before the Royal Wedding, ensuring that it got effectively buried under the coverage of Kate Middleton‘s dress. That said, we still jumped on it once we were done laughing at the grumpy bridesmaid.

For nine months, January managed to not disclose the identity of her baby daddy, but there seemed to be a smugness to the whole thing. Like, she knew, and she knew the reveal would shock us, so she was holding on to that secret even more firmly than the life growing inside her. We guessed everyone from her ex and Saturday Night Live star Jason Sudeikis to her X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn. (Again, scandalous since he’s married.)

We kind of want to strangle January’s people at this point. Her camp has been keeping up a casual front of “Oh, that baby? Yeah…” whereas we’re clamoring for more details, saying, “Oh, that baby! Yeah!” And of course that will only continue as poor Xander grows up — so maybe January could think of her child instead of her career for once and spare him that misery by just revealing his father’s identity.

“so maybe January could think of her child instead of her career for once and spare him that misery by just revealing his father’s identity.”

For God’s sake, she IS thinking of her child by keeping it to herself. It’s actually nice to see that Hollywood actors are keeping SOMETHING private. Quite frankly, I couldn’t care less. I’m just happy she had herself a lovely baby.

WTF

There is something seriously wrong with you if you think a woman who is protecting her son’s privacy by not discussing his paternity publicly is doing the WRONG thing by her child.
